SSB is correct in his analogy to OHMSS; it's a fictional story that references real places. That doesn't make it any less fictional.
I agree with you on this point. And I did previously.
We're interested in science. There are some flaws in your logic.
Please prove that the Exodus Account is fiction first.
Then we can go with SSB’s point. OK?
Until then, they do not correlate.
The Exodus Account is not a proven work of fiction like the movies cited certainly are. They are not equivalent.
That the Exodus Account is fiction, would have to be assumed a priory.
Prior to consideration of the evidence.
I trust you would not do that.
But then maybe you would because of an anti-supernatural bias?
I don’t know?
Is that what you two are doing?
Not accusing, just asking?
Because that would be both unethical, and unscientific.
Assuming people are lying, is not ethical!
Naughty business that!
Hopefully you would not do this.
That would be like inverting the entire US criminal justice system on its head. Basically saying people are guilty (of lying) until proven innocent.
You can reference his work here, but you can't just claim him as the authority and expect others to accept that. You are here presenting this argument, not him.
Correct.
I never asked anyone to accept him as the authority.
I just asked that his work be considered.
Nothing wrong with that.
Why not consider his work?
He spent 20 years of his life on the problems involved!
He is a scientist!
He uses the scientific method!
I provided you with the science you claim to be interested in, and even asked for.
And I asked you to tell me what is wrong with his work.
